Wide Soccer Cleats For Kids – The Best Wide And Extra Wide Soccer Cleats For Children!

Do you have a child with wide or extra wide feet that likes to play soccer and you are having a hard time finding cleats that fit? Have you been looking for a pair of soccer cleats that come in wide or extra wide widths?

Most parents don’t know that soccer cleats for children with wide or extra wide feet actually EXIST. There is actually only one soccer shoe style that will fit children with wide or extra wide feet, and I know which style it is because I have fitted this style before.

IMPORTANT UPDATE: There is actually two soccer shoe styles now that are available in wide widths.

I have been working for a specialized children’s shoe store for the last 10 years, where we specialize in children with foot and leg problems, but we provide regular shoe fittings as well. It’s important for us to carry top quality shoes that are available in different widths, since that’s the only way we can guarantee to FIT every single child.

If you provide your child with a pair of cleats that are too narrow, you will end up creating all sort of foot issues such as blisters, calluses, and corns!

I know how important it is to provide children with the correct pair of shoes and I am always emphasizing to parents the importance of providing their children with the correct pair of shoes in the correct shoe size.

I want you to remember one thing: It doesn’t matter how narrow or wide your child’s feet are, there is always at least one shoe style out there that will fit the shape of his or her feet perfectly and I will help you find it.

In order for children to get all the benefits that a soccer cleat has to offer you must provide them with the correct shoe size (and by this I mean the correct shoe length and the correct shoe width).

I can guarantee you that a cleat that is too short, too long, or too narrow, will have a direct impact on how your child performs on the field. I have helped several children that wore cleats that were too narrow and they developed blisters, calluses, and corns. What’s even worse, they weren’t able to play for a couple of consecutive days because of their foot issues.

If you are not sure whether your child is wearing the correct shoe size or not, START by reading a post I wrote where I describe the most effective and simplest way to make sure your child is wearing the correct shoe size:

When playing soccer or any other sport, children are stressing out their feet and legs at a whole different level, since they are running faster and engaging in more strenuous activities. I have had several cases of children having knee pain and leg pain after playing soccer, and most of the time this is simply due to them not wearing the correct pair of cleats.

Let me show you a selection of the best soccer cleats for kids with wide or extra wide feet.

STOP Buying Cleats Longer Cleats – Fit Them Right!

The most common mistake I see parents make when buying soccer cleats for their children with wide feet is to get them longer in order to take the pressure away from the widest part of the foot. I have spoken with several parents that explained me that because they weren’t aware that soccer cleats came in different widths, they kept trying longer sizes until the shoes didn’t feel tight anymore.

Please STOP doing this!

If you provide your child with shoes that are too long you will end compromising your child’s stability and make him/her more prone to falling down.

By providing your child with a pair of wide or extra wide cleats, you won’t have to get the cleats too long and you will be keeping your kids’ feet and legs healthy.

When Should I Provide My Child With Soccer Cleats?

I believe that there is not a set age to start wearing cleats. I believe that it depends on the size and weight of your child, and their muscle development should also be taken into consideration.

Sneakers with soles that provide good traction are a better choice for young children. Having young children wear cleats might increase their risk of injury.

The best way to figure this out is to ask your kids’ soccer coaches, since they will be able tell you when your child is ready to start wearing cleats.

Please take into consideration that children without cleats tend to slip and fall specially when the grass is wet.

The Best Wide Soccer Cleats for Kids –⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Have you ever heard of the shoe brand named Zephz? This is the only shoe company that makes soccer and baseball cleats that come in wide and extra wide widths. This is the number 1 cleat that I recommend for children that have wide or extra wide feet. I have fitted this soccer cleat style at the children’s shoe store that I work for, and I can guarantee you that it will even fit even the widest feet out there.

The new style that was released in 2019 fits and looks better than the previous one. The cleat also comes with extra shoe laces that come with different colors, so your child can match them up with their favorite colors or team jersey.

Below you can find the best soccer cleat for children with wide or extra wide feet that I have fitted before:

This cleat fits “true to size”, meaning that you need to get a half a size longer of the size that your child measured in the standard foot measuring scale (Brannock device) in order to leave the proper amount of growing room.

IMPORTANT UPDATE: There is a new soccer cleat style available for children with wide and extra wide feet made by New Balance. This soccer cleat style has been recently released and it fits and feels great!

This cleat style also fits “true to size”, meaning that you also need to go a half a size longer in order to leave the proper amount of growing room.

I have noticed how fashion oriented shoes have become the trend for some children (specially as they get older). Shoe brands such as Nike, Adidas, and Under Armour are children’s number 1 choice. But in order to keep your kid’s feet healthy, providing them with the correct shoe size and the correct shoe style is more important than the brand name. Please use your best judgment and keep reminding your children why it is important to wear cleats that fit.

If your child is somehow serious about playing soccer, please note that it’s almost impossible to learn proper form in sneakers, due to the simple fact that most sneakers have a wedge. Grab a pair of cleats and notice how they are generally flat. When the coach says is the right time to wear soccer cleats, go ahead and provide your child with a pair of well fitted soccer cleats.

Soccer Socks for Kids – Prevent Blisters, Calluses, And Corns!

Did you know that blisters are common in children who engage in soccer no matter what level they are playing? Blisters can develop not only from wearing the wrong shoe size, but also from wearing socks that don’t provide enough cushion.

Always check your kids’ feet to make sure that they don’t develop any blisters, specially on the back of the heel and bottom of the foot. Blisters form due to the repeated friction that occurs between the feet and the cleats, which causes the layers of skin to separate from each other.

Soccer socks are important because they are meant to protect your kids’ feet against irritation and infection. Most parents believe that the main purpose of soccer socks is to hold the shin guards in place but that’s not the only purpose. The primary role of soccer socks is to protect the feet from the cleat itself, without compromising the fit of the cleat.

Here you can find a selection of the best children’s soccer socks that I have fitted before:

Now that you know which are the best soccer cleats for children with wide or extra wide feet and which socks will keep their feet healthy, you are ready to make the most informative decision!

PREVENT your children from developing blisters, calluses, and corns by providing them with the correct pair of soccer cleats and with socks that properly fit.
